Big Stitch Hand Quilting - "Fuck the Quilt Police!"
This “Fuck the Quilt Police!” is my first attempt at hand quilting. The title is in response to hearing what can’t or should not be done when quilting. The stiches are not even, they’re not perfect, and they shouldn’t be when hand sewing.
I get so tired of hearing so many of my talented creative friends say what can and can’t be done in quilting, or any other art form they’re attempting to do. Sometimes we get so paralyzed with fear, that we stop creating.
Don’t think, just create, and keep doing whatever it is as long as it makes you happy.
I serged the edges of this quilt, because I didn’t want to add the binding. I saw a quilt in the National Quilt Museum that was serged like this, and it made a light bulb go off.
